Background:

The original HayDay Cusop came about following a “memory day” in April 2013 organised by Hay on Wye U3A, Haygarth surgery provided information that approx 40 people in and around the Hay area have some form of dementia. A group of people thought that more support should be available in our community, especially as there are no day centre facilities or other social groups focused on people with a dementia in our locality.

Our Aim

To enhance the well-being and dignity of people with a dementia (and associated conditions) and their carers, our aims are threefold:

To provide an opportunity for people to meet in an everyday social setting.

To enjoy each others company, share information, have fun and take part in stimulating activities.

To achieve an improvement in the quality of life for participants and enhance their social inclusion.

Our Objectives

HayDay provides a place which:

Centres activities on the person with a dementia to improve their wellbeing

Uses volunteers to provide one-to-one friendship support & activities

Enables carers to take part in activities and informal networking with other carers
